The Barra MacNeils Live at the Fraser Auditorium! Tickets available now! Call the box office: (705) 674-8381 or click the ticket link above. The Barra MacNeils are touring this spring in support of their latest release On The Bright Side, an exquisite collection of everything their fans love.

"The Barra MacNeils capture the feeling of 'close your eyes and you're there'." "They play what they like and folks like what they play."

If you've ever been wowed by their Christmas show, be prepared to have the wow factor raised exponentially as the band is unleashed from the strictures of the season. "Nothing but dumbstruck awe."
